What is thermal energy?

Back

The total energy of all the particles in an object.

Front

What is absolute zero?

Back

The theoretical temperature at which a system has minimum thermal energy.

Front

How does temperature relate to kinetic energy?

Back

Higher temperature means higher average kinetic energy of particles.

Front

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, while temperature measures the average kinetic energy.
